Mad Dog CEO and his beautiful assistant

Chapter 104 I have no idea about your daughter!

"Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your kindness. Unfortunately, I'm a simple-minded person. Mr. Zhao told me before he left that I couldn't let the old employees who had helped him start the business lose their jobs and go hungry. I have to be loyal to the people who entrusted me with the task. I can't abandon them and jump into the sea by myself. I have to be kind."

Yu Shen: ...

A suffocating silence.

Yu Shen barely touched his chopsticks. Yu Pingting pretended to drink juice, her beautiful eyes darting around. Only Shen Qin was eating seriously. Even if he was kicked out of the company tomorrow, he still had to eat well today.

Having been in the business world for years, what kind of people had he not seen?! High-ranking, scheming, sinister, vicious, and unscrupulous, but he had never seen anyone like Shen Qin.

Pretending to be aloof? Not really. Scheming boy? Not right either. Ungrateful and ungrateful? But she was both appreciative and respectful to Zhao Dahai.

The arrogant Sect Leader Yu had to admit that Shen Qin just didn't give him face.

Yu Shen's face darkened. "Young people should know when to stop. You should know when to stop when to play hard to get. If you let go too much, you will be unable to turn back."

Shen Qin didn't bother beating around the bush. He put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and looked directly at Yu Shen. "My newly hired assistant, Winnie, suddenly resigned. Does Mr. Yu know the reason?"

"..."

Yu Shen waved away his followers and turned to his daughter, "The dishes are not exquisite enough. Go and take a look and order some more."

Yu Pingting glanced at the two of them, but in the end said nothing and got up and left.

Yu Shen leaned back, pondered for a moment, and said bluntly, "I sent Winnie."

Shen Qin didn't expect Yu Shen to be so straightforward, but after thinking about it carefully, given Yu Shen's status, there was really no need for him to hide anything.

Seeing that there was no need to eat the meal anymore, Shen Qin leaned back and asked, "Are you satisfied with the fish?"

Yu Shen pursed his lips. "My feedback on Winnie is acceptable, but I'm reserved about you."

Shen Qin was too lazy to play dumb, "Boss Yu, if you have something to say, please speak frankly."

"I already said it just now, but you rejected me."

"There's only one way to get me out of Haichuan: fire me."

Yu Shen sneered, "You are able to sit here today because of my daughter. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be qualified to talk to me."

Shen Qin simply took this opportunity to make it clear: "Pingting and I are just classmates, Mr. Yu can rest assured."

Yu Shen looked at Shen Qin carefully with a very strange look, and then his tone softened slightly, "You must have thought that I would interfere with you, or even ask you to stay away from my daughter."

Is not it?

"If I firmly object, no matter how Pingting treats you, you will never be able to sit with me."

"So?" Shen Qin asked in confusion.

"So, today is not the Hongmen Banquet."

What does that mean? It's not the Hongmen Feast, could it be a meeting with the parents?

Yu Shen searched for the right words. "Honestly, my feelings about you are very complicated. It's normal for a daughter to have a boyfriend when she grows up. I've imagined many types, but you're the only one I haven't considered. Even if I don't consider a business marriage, my son-in-law must be a good match for Pingting."

Shen Qin expressed her understanding. Even ordinary working-class parents would consider whether their children were well-matched when choosing a spouse, and there was nothing wrong with that.

"But Pingting treats you differently. I know my daughter, and since she's interested in you, I naturally have to pay attention. Old Zhao praised you highly and strongly recommended you to take over as general manager. He wouldn't give up until I agreed. Judging by his attitude, if he had a daughter, you'd be his first choice for a son-in-law.

"Old Zhao is not confused. He won't repay you with Haichuan just because you saved him once. He thinks highly of you, so you must have something extraordinary. I've been observing you since you took over. Ability, performance, but most importantly, character."

Yu Shen pondered, "Ability can be seen in data, but character is the hardest to judge. I only have this one daughter. Ordinary families would worry about their daughter marrying the wrong man, let alone a family like ours? There are countless examples of ungrateful people who sneak into homes, defraud money and sex, and then abandon them. The human heart is the hardest to understand."

So Yu Shen used the most direct and speechless way to let Winnie seduce him and take the opportunity to test him. Although the method was bloody, Shen Qin could understand the heart of a father.

Yu Shen's feelings about him were indeed complicated. Simply put, you're not my ideal husband, but I also think you're not bad. I think you're good, but I can't be completely confident. I don't want to force a breakup, but I can't easily agree. It's a dilemma, and I can't make up my mind.

Shen Qin would not condemn Yu Shen for this matter, nor did he need to open his heart and soul to prove his innocence. He only clarified one thing to Yu Shen: "Pingting and I really have nothing to do with each other. Mr. Yu is worrying too much."

"What did you say?"

"Mr. Yu, don't worry about it. I repeat, I have no feelings for your daughter."

"..."

Yu Shen frowned. "So when you said you and Pingting were just classmates, did you mean it literally? Wasn't that just a cover-up?"

"Yes." Shen Qin emphasized, but Yu Shen didn't listen.

Yu Shen looked at Shen Qin again, and his eyes changed again, this time becoming more complicated.

He had been thinking about whether Shen Qin could be selected, but he had never considered that she didn't want to be selected at all. Should I be happy? She has no interest in your daughter. Wow, great! How is it possible? Yu Shen felt unhappy. Whether I choose you or not is another matter, but you dare to look down on my daughter? It's ridiculous!

This is probably what a father feels. I may look down on you, but I will be unhappy if you look down on my daughter.

"Do you know that with Pingting's conditions, you will never be able to reach her even if you work hard for ten lifetimes?"

"You're right!" Shen Qin could understand Yu Shen's complicated feelings, and he didn't want to offend him. "Pingting is too beautiful, I am not worthy of her."

Shen Qin was very humble, and Yu Shen's expression brightened slightly. It wasn't that he was arrogant, it was that he felt unworthy. He was so humble, what else was there to say?

"Is this why you rejected me?"

"That's just one reason. I really don't want to leave Haichuan. I have little experience as a senior executive. Mr. Zhao is flattering me, but I know what I'm doing. I'm already struggling to cope with Haichuan's current scale. If I change to another world, I'm afraid I'll be even more stretched. Why bother? The road must be taken step by step. If I don't have enough skills, I wouldn't dare climb it even if you give me a ladder to heaven."

Yu Shen couldn't help but sigh. Old Zhao's vision was truly sharp. These days, those who are impulsive, eager for quick success and instant benefits are everywhere, while those with self-awareness are rare. His favorability towards Shen Qin increased several levels. Putting aside his family background, this young man was indeed quite good.

"Okay. You just stay in Haichuan, work hard, and don't let down Lao Zhao's trust."

So, can tonight end happily? Shen Qin wanted to go back to his little house, even if it was just to lie down and do nothing. He didn't like socializing.

But then, Yu Shen said something that almost scared him to jump up, "Aren't you still in need of an assistant? Pingting also needs some experience, so let her be your assistant!"
